    Oh no, we may have to go back to an Internet where people posted web pages because they wanted to share information rather than to make a buck.

      Will we also have to go to a time where we’ll have to buy physical newspapers so that journalists can make a living? Or do we expect them to also share information just for the sake of sharing information?

        You don’t need physical newspapers, but if you want good journalism you should definitely pay for your news.

        That never left. We’re still buying our local newspaper concerning 60000 people. It is way more relevant than any piece of news you might find on the web.
